Paul at Luxury Travel answered Randi's query with these suggestions:

· The Beverly Hills Hotel which just hired the Geoff Aymar trio.
· The Westin LAX which has live acts come through every so often as does the Crowne Plaza LAX.
· The Graciela Burbank, an independent boutique hotel that claims: "We talk about music. Music is part of our underlying welcome. Our music has no attitude, no pretensions." Jazz, New Age, popular tunes, and old standards are frequently heard here. Only problem is you're in the dreaded Valley.

Our suggestions skew a little younger, and for those who want to at least spend a few days in town and are willing to leave the hotel to see some of LA's legendary music scene. We suggest:

· The Mondrian in West Hollywood for its close proximity (next door) to the House of Blues concert venue and to the hotspots of rockers like the Rainbow Room.
· The Renaissance Hollywood at Hollywood and Highland because it's just a short trip down from the Hollywood Bowl (pictured above.)
· The Culver Hotel which is close to the famous Jazz Bakery and while it's an up and coming neighborhood, it does not have much of the craziness--traffic, plastic people, agents barking on cellphones--that LA is known for. So leaving your hotel room shouldn't be too much to take.
